Project Highlight ✨
We recently transformed the former Aberconway library, Cardiff University located within the Aberconway Business School by converting it to a student resource centre with four zones.
- Digital Information Zone
- Doctoral Studies Zone
- Student Entrepreneurship Zone
- Creative Learning and Teaching Zone

One of the key requirements by the business school was for the project to identify opportunities for improved sustainability which provided a positive community benefit. Recognising the procurement of furniture was an area where this aspiration could be addressed in the use of a ‘circular economy’ approach to procurement.

We’re delighted with these high-quality student study spaces which integrate new, reused, and reupholstered products from across campus.

Supporting National Relaxation Day.

Our design experts recommend adding various shades of restful green throughout the workspace, just like our brand new, Harmony Shows-space - Workscape booth.

As the colour green is associated with nature, subsequently tranquillity, rejuvenation, and relaxation - to help keep employees composed.

Project Highlight ✨
Closing the Loop project.

We are pleased to share this recently completed project for ‘the lcv group’ - one of the UK’s largest suppliers of vehicles to businesses, we provided a combination of brand new and surplus furniture for their new premises at Riverside House in the heart of Swansea SA1. A fantastic local project to be involved with from concept to reality – our design team planned the workspaces which support well-being and flexible ways of working. A mix of new and furniture from our Eco Shop and Showroom were integrated into the project.

Project Highlights
• Circular furniture initiative
• Product diverted from landfill
• Cost savings
• Lead time savings
• Supports local economy and supply chain
• Reduced client carbon impact when compared to purchasing new furniture

"From the initial design and concept, through to the choosing of our furniture and then finally the installation - BOF have been great to work with. Even more so, it has been a pleasure to work with a local company who really understood our vision and have produced some inspiring and sustainable workspaces for our team. We’re really pleased with the
final results."

Project Highlight ✨
Closing the Loop project.

We were delighted to be appointed for this seating refurbishment project for Y Lle a collaborative workspace for Cardiff University’s Welsh-speaking community - of all levels of ability. The project showcases our in-house ‘Circular Furniture Services.’ Cardiff University were enthusiastic throughout the process, as well as reducing their carbon impact supporting the local economy was high on their agenda. All components were sourced within a 6-mile radius and 100% wool fabric was selected from Melin Tregwynt, a manufacturer since 1841, employing over 40 local people - inspired by Welsh tradition.

Project Highlights
• Circular furniture initiative
• Product diverted from landfill
• Cost savings
• Lead time savings
• Supports local economy and supply chain
• Reduced client carbon impact when compared to purchasing new furniture

"A massive thank you BOF for making the process of regenerating this furniture into beautiful new pieces, so easy. It was a bonus to have the furniture delivered early and took the pressure off getting everything in place for the opening. It looks wonderful in the space and every piece has its own distinctively Cymraeg charm. Really looking forward to showing the space and the furniture to colleagues. I hope it will inspire more similar projects throughout the university."
